Smart Embedded Network of Sensing Entities
Project Objectives
- To create a system in which distributed embedded devices cooperate to form and maintain a self-consistent global world view from local sensor information and which is robust to the addition and removal of devices from the network. SENSE addressed the following scientific and technological objectives:
- To understand how to build networked systems of embedded components that can dynamically and automatically re-configure themselves
- To understand how to convert low-level local information to semantic knowledge
- To understand how to use semantic-level knowledge for network-centric computation
- To understand how perception and information processing can be combined using low-level and high-level feature fusion
- To understand how to facilitate networks of heterogeneous devices using a high-level semantic layer
